Thank you David_Jay for your in depth and informative posts - it drives me mad that the Witnesses base their whole theology on a book ( Daniel) that the Jews don't even consider a PROPHET! They are considered part of the " writings" in Judaism .

Why bring God when you can do it yourself?
by elbib inwhen under temptation, one can easily deflate it by simply changing his thoughts and choosing his associations wisely.
(philippians 4:8, 9; 1 corinthians 15:33) then why did jesus teach us to pray to god: “lead us not into temptation”?
(mathew 6:13) .

Did Jesus really suffer? Really?
by purrpurr inso over the course of three days he had a trial which doesn't seem to have bothered him much.
he got whipped ok that would have been agony and then put on a torture stake/ cross/ whatever yes that would have been hell.
but he was on it for a day and the whole thing lasted for three days.

And I fail to see how Jehovah " gave" his son...three Earth days to God must be less than a millisecond to us...he knew he was getting him back anyways...any mother who waves her son off to fight for their country sacrifices a million times more for her compatriots. -

IF there was a historical Jesus he was probably a deluded psychotic who suffered horribly and died young for no reason. Very sad.
IF IT WAS ALL JUST AS THE WITNESSES SAY THE ONLY REAL SACRIFICE ( PATSY) WAS POOR OLD JUDAS. As you say Jesus had a rotton death ( there are worse ) but after a day of suffering is living it large with his dad up in heaven...and as peteZahut correctly pointed out if we were all good and listened to Jesus where does they leave Jehovah's BIG PLAN? Someone HAD to do the betraying and as jah KNEW the result beforehand ( wheres the free will?)that someone is now condemned forever .... Now THATS what I call a sacrifice!

I'm on chrome I can only get a few emoticons, the ones on the very right. I've always been envious of Finkelstein and his marvelous emo's. I've got my kindle ones but they don't have the level of sarcasm or " Doh!!" required for an ex dub site -

No. Menstruating women are unclean for 7 days? No.
Wouldnt be too sure about THAT! Women are just unclean 365 days a year.....of course, the one thing an unclean women could do is the one thing JW women are allowed to do....,clean the shi**ers at the Kingdom Hall!

Prince tried to make a recruitment film for jw's?
by purrpurr ini've read in an article on that in 2001 prince wanted director kevin smith to make a movie based on his album the rainbow children.
but the director dropped out when he realised that it was going to be a recruitment film for jw's including flashing messages on screen like "jesus christ is god's son" etc.
has anyone else heard this before?

I agree Phaedra . Prince was a very accomplished musician, but he definitely hit it big at the right time.. And I don't think he has really reached that level of creativity that people are talking like he did. He wrote a few catchy tunes but he was certainly no innovator.. most of the stuff he did had been done before and better by others imo.

He killed himself with drugs. No sympathy for him, and no soup, either!
Nathan I hope the day never comes when you have a condition so painfull that you are on a long term opiate prescription. As tolerance builds its very difficult to get dosage right....and you simply would not be human NOT to become addicted after as little as a few weeks with opiates ( which is what he must have taken to be given narcan).
If you are this judgemental now god only knows what you must have been as a dub.

she was one of the first female comedians, and paved the way for the those women that followed.
